Nippon Ichi Software Making PS3 Visual Novel About “Yandere Hell”

Nippon Ichi are working on a new PlayStation 3 game titled I Thought It’d be Harem Paradise, but it Turned Out Yandere Hell.

Dengeki PlayStation (via: Re:Zaregoto) says this is visual novel. It’s written by Katsunori Kobayashi along with Kikakuya, who worked on games such as Baldr Force EXE and Dual Savior Destiny.

Tatsumi Takuma is directing the title, and its theme is reportedly “mascot characters and female high school students”. To put this into perspective, the Japanese term used is “yurui characters,” which is used to describe characters like Hikonyan and Kumamon, who serve as mascots for a wide range of products and services.

Ah, I thought this was gonna be a JRPG. Ah well. 10/10 for that title.

Can someone explain to me mascot characters?

A character that represents the group it belongs to. Kumamon for example is a mascot created by government of Kumamoto prefecture. Mickey Mouse might be an easier example, he represents Disney World or Pikachu for Pokemon. This is what you asked right?

Then again, NISA didn’t localized SRD (also made by NIS) because of the lack of gameplay element.

Oh god, unnecessarily long anime titles invading gaming world (yes I know, it’s nothing new, but for crying out loud, what happened that now instead of sensible and short titles, we have titles that are descriptions of a show?)

You will always have School Days.

I’m pretty sure that started with OreImo, and won’t be going away…

Did you not consider that it might be done in a parody/making fun manner in this case? This IS NIS we are dealing with here.

That and its rather hard to create a simple and attention grabbing title nowaday so they go for long titles. Or its just a “my d*** is bigger than yours” type of in-joke among authors.
